Why not Conway? All the clues fit so well.

I was at Conway earlier this evening.I wish I could be out digging but not possible tonight so I will tell you why I think it is at "CONWAY".

CLUE#1: It's a public ground and is in St.Paul, and it is a park.They are basically telling you that a golf course is not nearby.

Clue#2: There are hills for sliding but it's on the other side of the park away from all the ball fields, etc...

Clue#3: I haven't quite got this one yet but I think you have to do some calculations with the numbers to "figure" them out.

Clue#4: The library is right there and if it is at this park it will be the first time so it is new. And you yourself would be the iconoclast by digging up (destroying)

looking for the medallion which is a symbol of the Winter Carnival.

Clue#5: Again the library and "goal" for hockey, broomball, etc..

Clue#6: "A man of Fame" could be Tim Conway or Conway Twitty. A tome can be a scholalary book again for the library. it mentions "game" which is for

Basketball, hockey, baseball, etc...

Clue#7: Clear could be for the "ice" skating rinks. There are two different sets of trees that are "in a line" if you look at them both they direct you to look at Wilson

St., which Wilson could be either a first or last name. And the valuable sign could be the street sign.

Clue#8: This one tells you what it is hidden in and that is sort of obvious a baseball or softball. And if you look towards Sunray Shopping center you can see the

Translucent peak(s), and it is not far and within your sight.

Clue#9: The water on high is the water tower near the park, and the large red object is the 3M sign on the tallest 3M building over there.

Those are my theories on this whole confusing hunt, I may be way off and alot of people may not agree but, I just wanted to share that with other people because I

have a feeling that someone will find it by mid morning. Good luck to all!!

I have studied these clues... The medallion is at Conway- If you don't want to find it go to parks like Battle Creek and Como Who agrees???

It has to be someplace VERY specific, maybe something we'll find out in the next clues........ I live right here on Wilson, the number of people is INSANE!!!!!!!!!

I've studied the clues too. If anyone from PP(the clue writer himself) is reading I think you screwed up on this years hunt. When I bring in the little coin tomorrow I'll

prove it to you!

If it was at BC or Como, the clues would be more specific by this time. Conway just seems to fit all the clues. Does anyone disagree? Why?

I whole heartedly agree with Russ P. And I hope that everyone does go to Battle Creek/Como/Newell, etc. Then maybe I can get out tomorrow. Hee Hee!

Shark cage, the clues point out battle creek very clearly. This sort of reminds me of the vikings situation. Everyone is jumping on the conway bandwagon, and they

are gonna be shocked when they find out that it was hidden at battle creek.

Hi, I've been reading everyone discussing and am wondering how it can be at Conway if it is already all dug up?

If you have the medallion Brian S.- then tell us where you found it, so we can go to bed!

Medallion is in a sock, rolled tight. "No time for cold feet!" A white one will be tough to see in the snow.
